EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic St Mary Magdalene, a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ. Created in 1886 by an unknown artist, this portrait was published in Butlers Lives of the Saints, DIV 1 by Rev Alban Butler in London and Dublin during the late 19th century. In this vividly colored image, we see St Mary Magdalene depicted with deep grief and sadness. Her posture reflects her devotion to Jesus as she kneels before his tomb. The hagiography surrounding her portrays her as a significant figure within Christianity. A halo adorns her head, symbolizing her saintly status and divine connection. This portrayal is reminiscent of the biblical story known as "noli me tangere" where Mary encounters Jesus after his resurrection but cannot touch him. The mausoleum serves as a poignant backdrop for this emotional scene, emphasizing themes of death and burial. As one of the few female disciples mentioned in religious texts, St Mary Magdalene's presence here highlights the important role women played in early Christian history. This remarkable print captures both the religious significance and artistic beauty associated with St Mary Magdalene's story. It offers viewers a glimpse into centuries-old traditions while honoring an influential figure who continues to inspire people today.
